## Description

This blueprint enables to send Web UI persistent notifications, (ie. the ones created with the `persistent_notification.create` service) to the specified mobile device or device group. It also provides the option to choose which notifications must be forwarded, based on the provided notification ID.

Working both on iOS and Android devices, mobile notifications can then be organized into a specific group. For Android devices, they can also be assigned to a specific channel (for applying custom notification settings such as sound, vibration, etc.).

This blueprint can be useful in all situations when a web interface persistent notification is desired but the event should be reported also on a mobile device.

Moreover, it can be handy in scenarios when a notification cannot be sent directly to a mobile device, for example for system generated persistent notifications (invalid login attempts, integration setup required, supervisor alerts, etc.) and for integrations/addons which, instead of providing a custom event for triggering automations, use the `persistent_notification.create` service as an event report mechanism.

Once opened on the mobile device, the relative persistent notification in the web UI is not dismissed.

## Requirements

<Requirement name='Persistent Notification Integration' required>

You must have this integration enabled on your system to run the automation, since the notifications on the web interface are generated by this integration. This should be activated by default so unless you tweaked the default configuration you're good to go.

[Persistent Notification Integration Docs](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/persistent_notification/)

</Requirement>
<Requirement name='Mobile App Integration' required>

This integration provides the service to send notification to mobile devices. This should be activated by default so unless you tweaked the default configuration you're good to go.

[Mobile App Integration Docs](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mobile_app/)

</Requirement>
<Requirement name='Home Assistant Companion App' required>

The official mobile app for Home Assistant. Make sure to have the Home Assistant Companion App installed and configured on mobile devices you plan to use for this automation.

[Home Assistant Companion App Docs](https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notifications-basic#sending-notifications-to-multiple-devices)

</Requirement>
<Requirement name='Notify Group Integration' required>

If you want to simultaneously send the notification to multiple devices, you can define a notification group using this integration in your `configuration.yaml`, then provide the service for the notification group in the [Mobile devices notification service input](#mobile-devices-notification-service). This integration should be enabled by default. More on how to setup notification groups in the official docs.

## Additional Notes

Please be aware that if you use notification groups which include both iOS and Android devices, some features (like Android Channels and notification groups) don't work.
